Bone density is a measurement of the mineral density in your bones. It is used to determine a person's risk for osteoporosis.
Humans and possibly a few other primates are the only animals that get a rash from poison ivy. Your dog and cat donât get it, nor do birds, deer, squirrels, snakes and insects. However, be sure to wash your dog after a walk near poison ivy because the urushiol can be carried on dogsâ fur and transferred to you!
Approximately 85 percent of the U.S. population is allergic to urushiol. A personâs sensitivity to poison ivy changes over time and sensitivity tends to increase the more one is exposed to the plants. The better your immune system, the stronger your body will fight this allergen.
